That is so funny! Unfortunately, many people go on starvation diets and lose muscle, bone mass and suffer malnutrition as well as a depleted immune system. When they are done (or cannot stand it anymore) they eventually gain all that weight back in the form of fat and are worse off than when they began.

You know what is even funnier? Many doctors give out dumb advice like this too. They know a lot about drugs but they know so little about nutrition. It makes sense though. If their patients get fat and sick, they visit the doctor more often and he makes more money off of writing them multiple prescriptions for drugs.

Hate to break it to you, but we’ve had The Duct Tape Diet book on the market for over four years! Instead of taping your mouth, you tape up all your diet villains — chips, cheetos, etc. If you hear them calling out to you, the duct tape is like a stop sign. It’s also tough to get through. Even though it’s full of fun, the book is no joke. There’s all kinds of information to help you stay on the diet wagon. It’s still available at Drivetime Publishing, P.O. Box 80246, Rochester, MI 48308. $14.95 and we pay shipping and handling. Buy two, and the third is free. Oxygen Magazine reviewed the book and said: “This book is hilarious…if nothing else, you’ll lose weight laughing.”
